Ringside Report Boxing Bracket Bonus (North)

[AdSense-A]

By Brian “The Beret” Young

Here we go fight fans, continuing on with our special boxing brackets. Rounds 1 and 2 saw some major upsets and created quite a bit of discussion. Now it’s time to get to the nitty gritty, the Sweet 16. This is part V, the North and South (Pre-1975) and West and Midwest (Post-1975).

Just a reminder, this is a single elimination P4P tournament. The fighters and their rankings were done by a panel of boxing fans, but the picks are mine, love them or hate them (and I have heard from both). Let’s keep the discussion going…and now
